DESIGN AWARDS
Sold Out! The 2021 AIALA Design Awards is sold out. We cannot not sell walk-up tickets. Thank you to everyone who has registered, all our sponsors for making the event possible, and the 2021 AIALA Design Awards Committee. You are fabulous!
Don’t miss out on the AIALA’s biggest fundraiser of the year! The Design Awards Party makes possible the Chapter’s extraordinary array of programming throughout the year: advocacy, essential professional development programs, the fostering of next generation designers, and more!
Come together. Time to celebrate again. The AIALA’s biggest bash is even more bodacious this year, with a one-of-a-kind starlit night set at SoFi Stadium. Big, bright, airy, open, spacious–and ours for the night.
Theatre seating is out; meet + mingle time between each awards category is in! Be with colleagues, reconnect with life-long peers, or meet brand new fabulous connections against an energetic, electrifying new-era backdrop. Raise a glass together and socialize in an airy setting.
Catch the announcement of the 2021 AIALA Design Award winners, toast the 2021 AIALA Presidential Honorees, indulge in site-specific libations and enjoy a twist on stadium cuisine.
Dress code? Fashion for a sweeping, translucent roof.
The 2021 AIALA Design Awards Party is presented by (longtime friend of the AIALA DAs) Sharpe Interior Systems, Inc.
